Under the Gaze of God

by Edward Poppe, C M Colombe (Translator)

Before being published as a small book, these "counsels of perfection" and spiritual notes by Blessed Edward Poppe (1890-1924), a Belgian priest whose cause for canonization is under way, had been transcribed a hundred times by hand by those who had tasted their flavor, vigor, and supernatural wisdom. Fresh and luminous, this little book has been a tremendous success in Dutch, French, Italian, and German; it now appears at last in English. Responding well to the needs of the faithful, it will become an inseperable vademecum for all those who wish to live "under the gaze of God."

A very similar work to The Imitation of Christ, this was a wonderful introduction to Blessed Edward Poppe (who I was completely unfamiliar with) and was a great companion to my prayer during my end-of-semester retreat.

This is a great little book filled with the holy thoughts of Blessed Fr. Edward Poppe. One really feels Bl. Poppe’s desire for holiness as one reads it. Certain lines are well worth meditating on, and I hope that it inspires Catholics to greater love for God and neighbor. Hopefully, we will one day see Fr. Edward Poppe canonized so that he can be celebrated at every altar in the Universal Church as one of God’s Friends and as a truly heroic soul.
